A specialized cell is a cell that has developed specific structures and functions to perform a particular role within a multicellular organism. These cells arise from less specialized cells (like stem cells) through a process called differentiation. Examples include: Nerve cells* (neurons) are specialized for transmitting electrical and chemical signals. Muscle cells* are specialized for contraction, enabling movement. Red blood cells* are specialized for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Root hair cells* in plants are specialized for absorbing water and minerals from the soil. Send me the next one 📸
